CONCORD, Y. H., Oct. 13.-In the Senate
this forenoon, when the Hazen bill was
reached for third reading Senator Pitman
moved that it be tabled, pending the bribery
Investigation before the House judiciary com
mittee. He said the testimony offered Tues
day by an honorable Senator was such that
vote should not be taken until after that
investigation was closed.
During the afternoon session, ii was voted,
IL to IL, after a long and animated discussion
to indefinitely postpone both reports in the
case OF the attempted bribery Of Senator
Sawyer.
Ii is said many employees of the White
Mountain division Of the Boston & Lowell
road have been sworn in as constables in an
ticlpation of possible attempt by the
holders Of a majority of the stock Of the
Boston, Concord Il Montreal road to take
forcible possession of that branch.
In the bribery investigation this afternoon,
Representative Joseph Bean, of Gerry, testi-
hed that Woodbury. Durgin made him several
offers of from $500 to $3.50 to vote for the
Atherton bill. He thought he could raise
his offer little If the witness could get his
colleague, Webster. Durgin gave the wit
ness to understand that he was authorized to
make the offer, and that no money was paid
in the State but N Boston. The witness had
heard members say they had been offered

WELL KNOWN IN WALPoLE.
An Account Book Which May Help
CromweIps Case.

SOUTH WALPoLE, Mass. Oct. 13-The
family of Oliver Cromwell in custody
charged with the murder of Treasurer Bar
ron. were ignorant of the arrest until this
evening, when they were informed by a re-
porter. They had supposed Cromwell to
have gone away on a job Of work. A letter
from him this evening said he was in trouble
without stating the nature Cromwell's first
wife was Stains daughter For five years
the family lived in South Walpole. Except
during short time when Cromwell was
confined in Dedham Jail for stealing. his
wife says he has not been away from hom
during her marriage. Account books are
said to be in existence showing that Crom-
well was at work near Medfeld the day af-
ter Barron was killed, which. if true, would
show c0nclusiyely that Cromwell could not
have had hand in the murder
Stains reputation while living here and
at Medfeld was very bad. 1t was said
he was guilty of excessive cruelty to the
members of his family, and it was stated that
he once threw his mOther-in-law upon a
stove and held her there until she was badly
burned. Again, he severely whipped his
child, who bore the marks for a number of
weeks. Other stories of crueties are told.
For some time he has been living with a
woman not his wife, whose husband left her
about six months ago on account of the
couples improper relations.

PROFESSIONAL CRIMINALS.
Keys of all Sizes Found Near the
House Of Stain.

New YORK, Oct. 14.-When Sheriff Mitch
ell and the World reporter went to Med
field, Mass, where Stain formerly lived,
careful inquiries were made about the vii
lage, and all the facts of Stains history were
verified to the minutest detail. Having
taken the testimony of those in the village,
the sheriff and the reporter took a carriage
and drove to the old place where Stain lived
six years ago, and where he gathered his
gang about him and planned his robberies.
1t was here in a farm house on the outskirts
OF the town. near the edge Of the woods,
that the old burglar lived. and from this
house the gang issued silently at night and
started on their murderous errands. Ii was
mere, too, that they returned with their
plunder and secreted it in grove of pines or
buried IL In swamp near by.
Inc mouse is now tenanted by James Nell
son, one OF the selectmen of Medfeld. He
used 70 live on the adjoining farm and
pougnt otain place for an exorbtant price
In order to induce him to leave. The house,
with Nelson's willing permission, was
searched from garret to cellar, but nothing
was found that belonged to the burglars
The reporter and the sheriff then began
search In the long stone wall which runs
along the road. The reporter erept ON his
Ice on one side of the wall, while Sheriff
Mitchell examined as thoroughly the other.
Half an hours search was rewarded by
the finding of big bunch of brass keys
carefully wrapped up in an old piece Of
trousers leg. They were large keys to out
side doors Of banks and stores, which were
Of all patterns. Further on, carefully hid
den under Hat stone, were two big punches
OF smaller keys OF every description, which
were made for smaller or indoor locks.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13-Smth, alias Crom-

taken ut once to Boston. He is well known
in Massachusetts, and was suspected Of the
murder of Mrs. Arlington, and was for some
time closely watched by the police. He has
bad reputation and has always been con.
sidered desperate character by the police.
1t is stated that Smith has served term in
prison for piracy.
Young Stain says his father Is David L.
Stain, and he is commonly called Dave"
Until he was II years old he lived at Loch's
Corner, part OF the town of Mount Vernon,
Me. he then went to South Natick, Mass,
where he married. He lived there until he
was - years old, when he went TO Medfeld
Mas. where he resided until he was about
% yc tsold., He is now about go. He is
Shoehaker by trade, and the places where
he has lived are shoe manufacturing towns.
Part OF the time while he was in Natick he
worked In shoe shop, and at other times he
took the stuff home and made the shoes in
the house.
In Medfeld he went into the business on
ms own account. forming the partnership of
Stain d. Snow. Charley Snow, who was as
Soclated with him, was my step-mother's
half brother, my father having married a
second time in Medfeld. At the time of this
second marriage he had two children, my
sister, Lizzie Wheeler Stain, and myself,
me Charley and some Frank. BY his second
wife he had daughter, Cora. In Medfield
ne picked up boy of IA and brought him
up. This boy was the first of the group that
my father afterwards gathered about him,
which was known as the gang, and of
which my father was the leader. He had
built house and stable and shop in Med
field, all being connected" ~

Talking at Concerts.

To the Editor Of The Press:
How many have been very much annoyed
when at concert by some thoughtless per-
son who continually talked during the per-
formance? II people attend concerts 1t Is
supposed they are there TO hear the music
and not TO create disturbance. IL they
must talk let them do so between the pieces
and at intermissi0n. These persons who
VIII tall are often so persistent and ill-bred
that, although they see the people about
them are most seriously disturbed by their
talking, still Keep on and frOwns aud back
looks are OF no avail. Such parties should
be complained Of TO the ushers, or manager
Ot the nall, as nuisance. and be compelled
to leave the hall or stop their talking
When the disturbance Is so great as to az
tract the attention OF performers, the only
method which can be used Is the one used by
Theodore Thomas at Brooklyn concert re-
Gently, who stopped the orchestra In the
middle Of a selection and said he could not
proceed with the concert, as there was so
much noise In one Of the boxes that the per-
fOrmance was spoiled. This action on the
part Of Mr. Thomas entities him TO the
thanks Of all who attend concerts, and Ii
this manner Of treating such people was
universally adopted. there would be less
cause for complaint
There Is still another class, and a large
one II Is, oftentimes, who with the tirst men
toned, vie In depriviDg the lover of music OF
those privileges which he Is supposed 10 buy
when he purchases bis ticket for the con-
cert.
On some programmes request Is printed
that all desiring to leave early will do 40 m
the interval between the last two pieces
and before the last commences. A great
many are cOnsidefate and do so, but there
are still a great many who wait until the
